With the No. 1 overall pick, the Minnesota Twins will have plenty of talent to choose from. High school senior Hunter Greene, Vanderbilt’s Kyle Wright and Louisville’s Brendan McKay are all expected to be among some of the top picks for 2017.

With all the celebration that goes with the draft, a dark cloud hangs over one rising star, who was projected to be an early round pick.

Last week, news broke that Oregon State Ace Luke Heimlich pleaded guilty to sex crimes when he was a teenager. The Oregonian reports that at 15, Heimlich pleaded guilty to sexually molesting a 6-year-old family member.

The revelation came after court documents showed Heimlich was cited back in April after he failed to register as a sex offender in Benton County, Oregon. Heimlich has since taken a voluntary leave of absence from the team, and released a public statement.

“I have taken responsibility for my conduct when I was a teenager. As a 16-year-old, I was placed on juvenile court probation and ordered to participate in an individual counseling program. I'm grateful for the counseling I received, and since then, I realized that the only way forward was to work each day on becoming the best person, community member and student I can possibly be. I understand that many people now see me differently, but I hope that I can eventually be judged for the person I am today.”

It is unknown whether Oregon State was aware of Heimlich’s guilty plea when he entered the school’s baseball program.
